Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 59.1%.
Females in HR = [(8% of 1600)/8] × 5 = 16 × 5 = 80
Females in IT=[(15% of 1600)/5] × 3 = 720/5 = 144
Females in Accounts=[(25% of 1600)/10] × 7 = 40 × 7 = 280
Females in Marketing=[(22% of 1600)/11] × 4 = 32 × 4 = 128
Females in Production=[(30% of 1600)/8] × 3 = 60 × 3 = 180
Total Female Employees = 80 + 144 + 280 + 128 + 180=812
Percentage = (number of employees in production department/Total Female Employees) × 100 = (480/812) × 100
Percentage≈59.1%
